The urgent care center will open at 418 Cloverleaf Road in Mount Joy Township, Lancaster County.

This will be the health system’s seventh urgent care location. The location is expected to open in November following a renovation to the health system’s Norlanco outpatient facility.

The walk-in urgent care center will be open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week. The health system says it will offer some services and treatments that aren’t typically available in an urgent care facility, including: the ability to administer IV fluid for dehydration; increased capabilities for asthma treatment; increased diagnostics for pain (stomach, leg, shortness of breath) and concussion screening. And two treatment rooms will have the capability to monitor patients for several hours.

The health system says that urgent care is ideal when medical attention is needed for sprains, cuts, burns, infections or flu symptoms and when patients cannot get in to see their family doctor.

“Urgent care services and treatments at this location will provide a convenient option for patients who do not require emergency care,” Stacey Harris, Lancaster General Health director of operations said in a press release. “Extended hours will be available to provide care when your family doctor isn’t available, especially nights and weekends, when minor illnesses and injuries often occur.”

Following the renovation, the outpatient facility will feature new behavioral health and cardiac services. Existing physical therapy services currently provided at the outpatient center will also be expanded. The location also offers primary care, laboratory services, ultrasounds, x-rays, pediatric therapy, electrocardiograms and MRIs, among other services. Services provided by specialists include diabetes treatment, arthritis and rheumatology, and cardiology services. The facility is open during construction.

The health system currently has four urgent care centers in Lancaster County and one in Chester County as well as one in Lebanon County.
